Whatâ??s on Monday menu

Good morning, everyone!

I believe that White Dove (Mary) passed away late last week. If I'm wrong, and this is a Mark Twain situation, I greatly apologize, but I know that she will forgive me.

I will miss Mary, I loved her Angela's Ashes type stories of growing up in a huge Irish Catholic family, her groundbreaking as a woman in the computer programming industry, and her savvy WLS advice.

A smart lady, excellent writer, and kind soul. Rest in Peace, White Dove.

Jim,

I always enjoyed Mary's thoughtful replies. Thank you for letting us know. She was truly a gem.

Oh no. That makes me incredibly sad. She was such a sweet lady. Always supported us.

may her memory be a blessing to all that knew her.

Oh no. The last post from Mary was on the 12th and she was one to always post on the daily thread. Her stories were the best. She will be greatly missed.

Thanks for starting the daily thread Jim. I've been helping a co-worker get his FMLA and CT Paid leave situated as he starts chemo and radiation today. I'm not liking this Monday morning to much sad news.

it's true - she passed on Friday. I'm in Boston and just had dinner with John and Julia - they told me the news. So sad. I've been Facebook friends with Mary for years and roomed with her at the OH conference in California a couple of years ago. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. I'm still in shock.

I'm so sorry to hear that, we were supposed to have a meet up in Portland soon. She cancelled due to her fear of falling/ balance issues. I'm so sorry I didn't get to meet her. She was always so supportive and kind.
